Hi people, I was diagnosed with AS on Oct 2013 at 22y/o after suffering from SI joint pain since 14 y/o followed by incredibly stiff neck at 21y/o.

I realized I lost quite a bit of my height, I was 177cm (5 ft 9) and recently when I remeasure my height it was 174cm (5ft 7) and I have a friend that I was always taller than him whom is taller than me now.

I must admit I have zero exercise & stretching and was depressed since all this happened. One of the reason is I thought I'm still young and my bone won't degenerate THAT quickly and now I just realized I'm dead wrong..

So back to my main question, is it possible to regain my lost height? Or is it a permanent thing?
